Bulk pin control changes for the v3.12 series: - Refactorings for generic pin config handling in the core. - Factor out a set of device tree utilities for use in all drivers, to parse and allocate maps from the device tree. - Some fixes to the core such as more nitpicky locking. - Pushed down config array iteration into the drivers. This patch is necessary for drivers that want to iterate over configs and pile up a stack of alterations to the same register(s), or if the driver wants to take a local spinlock when committing the configuration. - A new driver for the Texas Instruments Palmas PMIC by Laxman Dewangan. This is used on the Tegra systems. - A major cleanup and modernization of the PFC (Super Hitachi and ARM SHmobile) pin controller and subdrivers. - Support for the A20 and A31 sunxi (AllWinner) SoCs. - A huge pile of fixes and cleanups: Axel Lin, Jingoo Han Dan Carpenter, Julia Lawall and Sachin Kamat did an excellent job here.
